The children at a kindergarten have captured attention with their enthusiastic daily "work" routine, earning the playful moniker "Preschool Vocational Institute".

The video was filmed in Weifang City in Shandong Province on April 20.

From stir-frying dishes to baking pancakes, grilling skewers, crafting mats, embroidering, and even sewing... these pint-sized prodigies showcase a diverse array of skills that have left spectators in awe, with many exclaiming, "They're simply amazing!"

Following their viral fame, over 2,000 kindergarten principals from across the nation rushed to learn their secrets, while scores of international parents clamoured for enrolment spots.

Explaining the origins of this delightful phenomenon, Wang Yanqing, Head of Qinglan Preschool Education Group, revealed that it all began with a simple idea to utilise unused household items for children's amusement. Observing the children's unbridled joy as they engaged in imaginative play, Wang was struck by inspiration: "Must our educational games be confined to make-believe? Why not offer children the chance to engage in real-life scenarios under safe conditions? To truly listen, observe, and experience. Perhaps this is the precious opportunity for growth that children need."

Since then, Headmistress Wang has spearheaded an educational revolution, shifting from pretend play to "real work," where children quickly excel in autonomous, real-world activities.

Addressing the sudden popularity of her kindergarten, Wang further elaborated on her intentions, emphasising the aim to immerse children in traditional culture and foster essential life skills through play-based learning.

Wang remarked, "Children are naturally lively and active, with play as their essence. For them, play is life, and life is play. Our philosophy is simple: education should heed the voices of children, unleash their innate qualities, and return to the true essence of education."

With Qinglan Blue Sky Windmill Kindergarten blazing a trail in innovative early childhood education, Wang's vision promises a return to the authentic roots of learning, where joyous play paves the way for profound growth and discovery.

近日，山东潍坊，诸城市青蓝大风车幼儿园的小朋友们因为每天劳动忙碌得不亦乐乎而引发关注，甚至被大家戏称上的是“幼儿职业技术学院”。
大锅炒菜、烙饼、烤串、编马扎、绣花、做缝纫.......小朋友们的技能拉满，引得大家直呼“太牛了”“。爆火之后，不仅全国2000多名园长跑来学习，众多外籍家长也来抢入学名额。
青蓝幼教集团总园长王艳青介绍，起初只是顺手把自己家里闲置的锅拿来给孩子们玩，孩子们非常兴奋地倒入沙子，一起玩“过家家”炒菜的游戏。当时看到天真的孩子们玩得不亦乐乎，她便想：“我们园的教育游戏，一定要玩假的吗？在安全的情况下，我们给孩子们提供机会，在真的情境下自主玩耍是不是也可以？真听，真看，真体验。这也许正是孩子们宝贵的体验成长的机会。”
从那以后，王艳青园长便开始了她的教育改革，从“过家家”游戏转向“真劳动”，令人们惊叹的是，孩子们在真实情景下的自主游戏项目中，很快能将劳动和体育技能拉满。
面对这家幼儿园的爆火，王艳青进一步阐述了她的初衷，这一切是让孩子们从小在玩耍中体验传承传统文化，提高生活技能，在游戏中成长。小孩生来就是活泼好动的，是以游戏为生命的，游戏是幼儿的基本活动，对于孩子来说，游戏就是生命，生命就是游戏。我们的想法很简单，教育应该听从孩子内心的声音，释放孩子的天性，回归教育本真，回到教育本来的样子。
